Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here? The file exists, I checked it with a hex editor for anomalies. Most lines are under 40 characters in length and terminated properly. SOme days this works, others it doesn't. I'm running under WIndows XP corporate (where nothing stays the same damn it)


If OpenWindow(0, 200, 200, 500, 500, #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget, "PureBasic Window")
DrawingOutput(WindowID())

j = 20

File$ = "d:\trackfmt.txt"
If OpenFile(#1, File$)
While eof() = 0
Stuff$ = ReadString()
Locate(20,j): DrawText(Stuff$)
j + 1
Wend
EndIf

Closefile(#1)

StopDrawing()

Repeat
ev.l=WaitWindowEvent()
Until ev.l=#PB_EventCloseWindow

EndIf

Hi,

Use ReadFile() instead of Openfile (bug)

Hope it helps...

My God, I don't believe it was so simple. I had been tearing my hear out for 3 days over that one!! All of it works now and am working on the rest of the code. Am also doing the stripping and replacing of elements as I read them in. Now I can get on to the next part, doing the cleanup of any NFO like text portions!!

Cheers, Fangles
